it's worth noting that preorders in japan are selling out all over the country last I heard, and once a monster hunter game is announced it will essentially become the handheld platform of choice for all but the casual gamers in japanYoshi178 said:

Did you see the PS3's servers before they went pay-for-online? That shit was unforgivable, I was honestly glad when they went subscription so their downloads could actually work properly. I remember buying RE5 gold, and then having to plug my PS3 directly into my router and leave it on for a day and a half while it downloaded.Ezekiel said:
On principle, you're definitely not wrong, of course. But there's probably a reason the 360's online worked so much better for so long. (Side note, fuck the PS3. Lots of great exclusive games, but it's the worst console I've ever used. The thing barely works, even before you put the damn game in. That store...) At least you get a decent value now for PS+, if at least one of the free games every other month or so is fun for you.
Because they have 0 hardware manufacturing costs? Manufacturing consoles is a money hole, they are NOT profitable. The PS3 didn't make it into the black until 2010. The Xbox 360 sold like hotcakes, but it still took six years before it turned a profit.Ezekiel said:
I'm not trying to attack your opinions, I just think you're operating on some false assumptions here.
OT: Pretty excited for the Switch. I missed out on the WiiU, but I'm definitely going in on Nintendo this gen. I wonder how long we'll have to wait for a new Smash Bros. I'm very excited for what Suda is doing, and I'm hoping we'll get a new Platinum entry on this console as well.
i wouldn't be expecting a new Smash game anytime soon. Sm4sh only released at the end of 2014 and there was like 6 years development time between smash 4 and brawl and another 6 years between Brawl and Melee. Sakurai puts his heart and soul into those games and they end up taking forever to make to deliver the kind of quality we expect from Smash.Benpasko said:
the best we can hope for in regards to smash at this point in time is a Smash 4 port in the same vein as the Mario Kart 8 Deluxe port. just a Sm4sh port with all the DLC and a few extra characters thrown in to help appeal to the audience who already bought the game on Wii U. something along those lines but i don't expect anything major just yet in terms of smash.
Honesty I really don't know how anyone can defend Nintendo. Never has a company had such contempt for the consumer. Lets look at the fact shall we, not speculation but facts.
1) Only Zleda worth buying at launch, once you have that then what for several months.
2) At Least ?40-50 for last gen Skyrim, Arms and Bomberman that should be a ?10 downloadable arcade game. (Nintendo are you stuck in 1997 where you sold N64 games for ?60? this is 2017 that shit will not fly!)
2) No Netflix (Yeah yeah not big deal I hear you say Its a game system first and foremost, but FFS how hard is it to port fucking Netflix or amazon on a switch it might be convenient for some people to take on the go, its a nice added extra that takes no fucking effort at all but no not Nintendo they love shitting on their consumers whilst they lap it up.
3) One downloadable ROM file for snes/nes every month for a paid online service. Even Sony and Microsoft do a hell of a lot better than this. They are not perfect but at least you get some AAA games and you cam KEEP them while subscribed.
4) Hiding specs...why? this is purposely done to con your customers as you know it would piss a lot of people of to reveal its an under clocked android Nvidia micro console that retails at ?150 elsewhere.
5) No third party support, all Nintendo fanboys say they dont need this, but thats what killed the WiiU. If Nintendo were making quality games after quality game it wouldn't be a problem but they make three or four good games and thats about it, it needs third party support but it wont get it.
People need to wake up too reality, the old saying goes, if it looks like shit, smells like shit you dont need a scientist to tell you its shit. This isnt trolling but seriously look at facts and past history and tell me I'm wrong, tell me this is different from the WiiU it really isnt. You cannot hand on heart defend this.
Rant over. Come on Nintendo fanboys pick this comment apart, I dare you!

Honestly I'm glad Zelda is the only big 1st-party launch game alongside a mix of smaller stuff like Bomberman and the Skyrim/Isaac ports, especially considering how long it looks to be. I'd rather get a big game every month or two than get a big chunk all at once as it helps ensure we don't fall into a slump of waiting half a year or more for the next big thing like we've been with Zelda, and if gamestop being sold out of preorders is any indication, it seems to be working as a launch strategy.
It's called artifical demand my friend. Nintendo are king of fake demand. I would love to know exactly HOW many have been pre-ordered.Yoshi178 said:
Also, I remember the same thing happened to the Wii U, pre order numbers don't really mean anything if the delivered product sucks because people will quickly stop buying it.Fonejackerjon said:
Not that I don't love my Wii U, I do but many people didn't like it all. Also, it took me a year to buy one.
and Binding of Isaac, and I am Setsuna, but I guess those aren't big AAA games so they don't count in your eyes then Mario kart comes out about 1 month after so that's not "several months" (also this one is opinion not fact)Fonejackerjon said:
Arms is clearly trying to be Nintendo's new AAA series (and if you honestly think they showed all the content the game has during the presentation I have a bridge to sell you) and Bomberman is Konami, ***** at them about the price
so I guess it's nintendo's fault that Netflix hasn't confirmed they will have an app ready for the Switch at launch? Man you are just looking for reasons to hate nintendo aren't you

I expect most of these won't count in your eyes because they aren't big AAA games
it's also important to keep in mind that most of the games for this thing have not been announced yet (I think it's probably safe to expect a new Monster Hunter, which as I said in your previous thread is all it needs in Japan)
fact is we won't know if it is a Wii U situation until well after launch. keep in mind preorders for the Switch are selling out all over the country and apparently is Sweden a game retailer is claiming it has surpassed the PS4 in preorder numbers ( https://www.facebook.com/webhallen/posts/1390566550964968 ) not necessarily a sign it will do better than the PS4, but a sign that they have momentum going into launch despite the small launch library
Nintendo are releasing 2 million units worldwide for the month of march. bout the same as PS4 and Xbone when they launched.Fonejackerjon said:
oh and you call it fake demand. i call it them not wanting over-production of hardware units in case no one ends up buying the damn thing like how no one bought the Wii U
Ah, the cries of "artificial shortages", the go-to excuse for people who realize they don't have an argument anymore, especially when it comes to Nintendo products.Yoshi178 said:
Beat me to it, and did it much better than I would have. I'd say the thread should just lock up and end there, but I know Fonejackerjon is probably gonna spew anti-Nintendo crap in a new thread shortly after and not learn anything, like the clear shit-kicking he's been getting here shows. And I agree, points 3 and 4 are ridiculoustotheendofsin said:
Are you serious? How can you defend this shit? Why are there so many Nintendo apologists, the system is shit! End of what games exactly are you looking forward too after Zelda and Mario is released?Elvis Starburst said:
